Why I Coach

My 40's have been a decade of inner work to confront and heal the reactive patterns that kept me over-working but also playing small and hiding my most essential gifts. At 39 I hit a crisis point. My chronic over-work patterns showed up physically as a compromised immune system that opened me up to getting Mono and experiencing adrenal fatigue. I had gone to Princeton, earned my MBA from Kellogg (Northwestern), was in a VP position, and juggled family life with 2 small children. And I was exhausted.

My health situation invited a huge reckoning and turning point. I learned to own that I was the one creating the burnout I was experiencing even though I said I wanted balance.  As I was healing physically, I sought out coaching support focused on conscious leadership and the Enneagram. These frameworks, taught to me by masters in the field, were my keys to identifying and unwinding the unconscious patterns that kept me in crisis even though everything on the outside may have appeared as if I had it all together.

Fast forward to now, and I am finding my way back to full aliveness every day. In 2024, I went on a Songwriter's Journey and recorded an album of 7 songs that are the outward expression of my inner journey, despite having told myself decades ago that I wasn't a singer. Now, as a Leadership Coach, I teach others in their 30s, 40s, and 50s how to heal the unconscious patterns keeping them stuck. I help leaders reclaim their essential creative power from the inside out.
